A schoolteacher was surprised to find her new class contained no less than three young indian boys. Intrigued she asked them if they knew anything of their homeland. The first boy stood up tall, puffed out his chest and claimed "I am a Navahoe warrior. I know this because on my 10th birthday my father took me on a voyage of discovery. We walked for many days and many nights until we arrived at a large open gorge my father told me; all that you see before you is Navahoe land, you are Navahoe, you must be proud to be Navahoe, and you must become a Navahoe warrior. On turning to the second boy he stood tall, puffed out his chest, and prolcaimed "I am a Sioux warrior. I know this because on my 10th birthday my father took me on a voyage of discovery. We walked for many days and many nights until we arrived at the highest peak of the highest mountain.

We walked for many days and many nights until we arrived at the foot of a large cliff and my father said son, where the fockawee?
